The Battle of Uhud was fought in the 3rd year of Hijrah (3 AH), specifically in the month of Shawwal (625 CE), near Mount Uhud, just outside Madinah. This was the second major battle between the Muslims of Madinah and the Quraysh of Makkah after the Battle of Badr (2 AH).

The Quraysh sought revenge for their defeat at Badr and marched towards Madinah with a large army. Initially, the Muslims, led by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), gained the upper hand in battle. However, due to the disobedience of some archers, who left their assigned positions to collect spoils of war, the Quraysh cavalry attacked from behind, changing the course of the battle.

Although the Muslims suffered heavy losses, including the martyrdom of Hazrat Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (R.A), the battle was a significant lesson in discipline, obedience to leadership, and steadfastness in faith. The Battle of Uhud strengthened the resolve of the Muslim community despite the setback.
